Hertha power struggle does not taste Bobic at all

A “thoughtful” Fredi Bobic explains that he is suffering from the public power struggle between investor Lars Windhorst and President Werner Gegenbauer. The manager of Hertha BSC wants to “dim down” the topic. Meanwhile, Felix Magath is back in charge of training for the Berliners.
Fredi Bobic is struggling with the public power struggle at Hertha BSC. The conclusion of the 50-year-old after less than a year with the Berlin Bundesliga team is also rather sobering. “So far I haven’t found anything successful, I have to be honest,” he said in an interview with the “Tagesspiegel” when asked about his greatest success so far during his tenure: “Success will only come in the long run. There It remains to be seen whether everything worked or whether I failed. Very simple. I’m completely realistic about that.”
Hertha is currently in 16th place in the table. On Felix Magath’s debut, the club from the capital managed to beat TSG 1899 Hoffenheim 3-0. After his corona quarantine, he took over training with the team again. The Berlin Bundesliga club completed a non-public unit. However, the Hertha team posted a photo with Magath on social networks, including the following: “After surviving the corona infection and successfully completing the free test, Felix Magath is back on the pitch. Welcome back, boss!” After the international break, Hertha has to play for Champions League contenders Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
His return to the pitch was accompanied by background noise at Hertha. A power struggle is raging between investor Lars Windhorst and President Werner Gegenbauer – and it’s been publicly held. He speaks openly and clearly with both of them, emphasized Bobic. “For me, the club is always in the foreground, not the person. Both of them know that. I want the best for the club. And from the club’s point of view, I find it understandable that the request should be scaled down a bit until the league. “
The club is currently producing “a lot of volume,” said Bobic: “That makes me think too, and I will clearly address that internally. My motto will always be: talk to each other, not talk about each other.”
Windhorst had called on the club members on Sunday to apply for the deselection of the current management team around Gegenbauer at the May meeting. “Especially when it’s something personal, it’s often about minor things,” said Bobic to the Zoff, which now seems to have arrived on a personal level. “But anyone who is familiar with the media power of football knows that trivial things can also generate a lot of volume here. I’ll try to explain that.”
